Camp 2nd Kan. Cav. [2nd Kansas Cavalry] Waldron Ark. Monday Jan. 18th 1864 Mrs. Eliza [Marie Elizabeth Dubach] Isely. My own ever beloved & tenderly cherrished Wife and Darling Love. It is with no small degree of congratulation that I mention to you the reception of your tender and ever commending letter of the 27th ult. which came to my hands this morning. I took it and went to my tent with it, and there read it. Its contents were such, as to impress my mind very much. I could hardly keep back the flowing of my tears. I seen so much in it for which I seen reason, and felt constrained to thank our merciful and kind Heavenly Father. I feel that we do not deserve his kind and merciful dealings unto us. I feel also thankful that we are so regularly receiving each others letters without even the loss of one, of late. I was also much pleased with Mothers [Barbara Otzenberger Isely] very kind letter. God bless her.
